that dance studio. those are the things we can confirm. now, as to what's being reported by wrbl, this is a local cbs affiliate down there, in east alabama, in tallapoosa county, alabama, they report that at 10:30 last night, there was a shooting in which that left more than 20 people injured. the majority of those are said to be teenagers. reportedly according to them, they've been sent to multiple hospitals nearby. and we've -- that's what we know. we've been trying to speak to an official since 1:00 this morning. and they are still gathering information. no official tweets. no official facebook posts. nothing from authorities down there, as you can imagine. what we do know is that the alabama law enforcement agency has told us that it is, quote, a horrible situation down there. so we will get more information as we get it. a mass shooting in dadeville, alabama, at about 10:30 last

night, reportedly. we'll bring that to you more details as we get it. this is happening at the same time that there was another shooting in louisville, kentucky, last night. a second shooting in that city, mass shooting, in a week. four people were transported with injuries including one in critical condition and two people are dead, after a gunman or gunmen shot into a crowd of more than 100 people at a local park in louisville, kentucky, chickasaw park last night. no word on arrests. they are asking for the public to help identify the suspect or suspects in that shooting. second mass shooting in louisville. we are trying to get more information on dadeville alabama. that is a town of just 3,000 people. what you are seeing is in louisville. what we have been talking about dadeville we have seen live scenes that show mahogany dance

is that there was a gathering there, maybe a sweet 16 they are reporting, a bunch of teens, now 20 are injured. we will get you more information as soon as we get it. >> thank you, bryan. proabortion activists are protesting outside the supreme court this weekend, raging against a federal judge's ruling that would limit access to an abortion pill. >> this is just after justice alito put a temporary five-day hold on the judge's ruling, lifting the temporary restriction on the pill. fox news sunday anchor shannon bream is joining us to break it down. good morning. thanks for being with us what does the five-day hold mean? what is the status of the case? what's at stake here >> a little more than a week ago, we got these dueling decisions one from texas that put the fda hold on the approval

of one of the pills that is used in medicated abortions. where a judge in washington state said no it can move forward. justice alito has put the texas ruling on hold for now. the biden administration is fighting it. they went to the court and said there will be chaos if women can't get access to the pill. now the justice has asked the other side to weigh in. they have to file their briefs by tuesday in this case. by wednesday, we could have a decision that quickly on what happens moving forward. remember, this isn't on the merits of the case about whether that pill's going to be available forever and ever and the fda approval process. this is just about whether that particular pill will be available while the case plays out on the merits through the lower courts. you know that can take months, even years, so both sides very much engaged in standing by for that decision this week. >> one in ten women who take that pill end up in emergency room. there are certainly some safety precautions with it. what's been interesting is aoc and now representative mace has sort of indicated that people

should just ignore this ruling, the earlier ruling. they said that. how unprecedented is that? >> well, you know, we as americans want the branches of government to respect each other, and if we're talking about keeping norms and having rule and order and rule of law and all of those things that as americans -- american we built our society on, you have to ask questions when one side is saying just ignore the other side. congresswoman mace is on fox news this morning. that's my question for you would you want people advising on the other side of the aisle not observe dobbs, the case overturn roe v. wade. you have to have a conversation of legislative and executive branch, respecting the work of other one. >> it will be interesting because she's had vaccine injuries and problems with the fda and their safety issues. this issue has come up with all kinds of other legal implications, great stuff. >> let's talk about what's

coming up on your show in addition to nancy mace. i promise you i won't ask you this question every time you appear on "fox & friends" weekend. the speed with which the leaker this week was caught by the united states government. it always reminds me how difficult and i use that in quotation marks it's been to find the leaker of the supreme court opinion in dobbs. rachel tweeted about this this week. they seem to have difficulty on many subjects, finding the january 6th pipe bomber, releasing the manifesto of the nashville shooter, but they found this leaker really fast, shannon. >> yeah, and he made some allegedly this guy the accused leaker, he made some mistakes that were very am mature and maybe -- amateur and maybe exposed how young he was that in some part made this investigation more swift. we're coming up on the leak of the supreme court and we're digging again, talking to everybody that we can. that investigation stayed internal, which makes it really difficult to find out exactly

what happened. the court has told us a lot about the investigation, but we don't know, you know, who was polygraphed or was anybody polygraphed? did they narrow it down to five people? two people? there's so much we don't know. we're going to keep pressing for answers there, but yes, some investigations move much more swiftly than others. fair to say, will. >> can i stay internal forever that investigation? >> you know, there have been some -- you know, some posturing on capitol hill that maybe some of the committees or others could get involved, but you know, you have a trail that's pretty cold at this point, a year into this. it's questionable about what they could actually do and what kind of oversight they could have, but there are discussions on the hill about a house committee potentially getting involved. >> so yes, in addition to nancy mace, shannon, who else do you have this morning? >> we have a congressman for a couple of reasons, we will talk to him about ai is it really coming to kill all of us and take over the world? and also his calls for senator dianne feinstein from his own party to resign.

what is all about? he's taking a lot of backlash. general jack keen will be here to talk to us about the leak, china taiwan, ukraine, iran is up to no good again. we will talk about that. two senators from opposite sides of the aisle who don't really vote the same on just about anything, and yet we're going to let you meet them and hear about the one thing that's brought them together on capitol hill. >> thank you very much. we will be watching >> thanks. >> i think it is an interesting conversation that's been brought up. dianne feinstein has missed i think all of her votes recently. she's 89 years old. >> for a couple of months. >> he's saying you have to be able to vote. you have to do the job. >> there's also the undercurrent of he's got someone he would like to replace her. nancy pelosi has her camp. there's internal california politics of the establishment. >> there certainly is. it brings up what about fetterman who has also missed a lot? even on the republican side what about congressmen who are

perfectly healthy but their staffers do everything for them like lindsey graham who didn't know he had cosigned on to the restricter act. those are all kinds of issues. now just about the people's health or how it runs? are they actually doing it or is the it staff? in feinstein's case, fetterman's case and graham's case, how did you not though that you signed on to the restrict act, one to have greatest threats to our civil liberty >> i'm sure they have to outsource to the staff. >> how do you co sign a bill and not know you cosigned it >> that's very important. one topic and another topic is that if you are so unhealthy you can't do the job, maybe you shouldn't be doing the job. >> that goes all the way up to joe biden. >> sure does. we want to bring you this morning this is out of hartford,

connecticut. we have talked about the rise in crime. we focus specifically on new york this morning. let me take you to connecticut, where a couple of carjackers attempted to take a car right out of the driveway, and then they encountered the homeowner. watch.

>> he fought to the very end. >> even to try to keep one of them. >> he's like i'm going to take you in. we are noting outside -- pete noticed how he had a truck with ladder on top outside. that's a man who works for a living. that's a man defending his castle. now, we talked earlier, i'm not sure if the infiniti is worth -- because one of those guys could have had a knife and as you mentioned will, this guy could have had a gun. this situation could have been much worse. but boy, you got to give this homeowner credit. he was defending his family and his property. >> these are brazen criminals in the middle of the day, not retreating, fighting, ganging up i mean kicks to the head like that, you can kill somebody. >> 1 ushgz 00 per -- 100 percent. >> they know what they are capable of doing and probably not afraid of the consequences. it sounds like his wife or someone else in the home -- >> i feel so bad for the wife

watching it. she probably couldn't do anything. >> she could. >> she did. i probably would have run out there and jumped on them. >> you made the statement just now, that they knew what they were doing. you're probably right. i don't think people appreciate the statement you just made about the kicks to the head. i see a lot of videos these days of that going on in fights, like where someone is clearly down, and then you start kicking them in the head. i mean, it is -- so much about this was cowardice, punches in the back, four on one. >> four on one. >> these are not tough dudes. one screamed about the place and they scattered away. >> these gang fights and mob fights where people jump in in the end and kick somebody who was already done. those four are lucky that that guy didn't have a gun in the car or on him. what he had was a ring, camera footage and his wife, and his own will, but his wife who eventually said i'm calling the cops and they scattered.

>> wow. >> all right. meanwhile, we have some additional news. we will turn to your headlines. start with this, hundreds gathering near the boston marathon finish line to remember the victims of the bombings 10 years ago. 8-year-old martin richard, crystal campbell, and lindsey lou were killed in the blast. mit police officer sean collier was killed days later by the bombers in his patrol car. boston police sergeant dennis simmons died a year later from a head injury he suffered during a shoot-out with the bombers. the marathon returns to boston tomorrow on patriots day. the "wall street journal" reporter who is being held in a russian prison has contacted his family for the first time since his arrest, sent a brief two page note dated april 5th that says in part i want to say i'm not losing hope. i read. i exercise, trying to write,

maybe finally i will write something good, he joked. also said he was eating cream of wheat for breakfast. >> i love cream of wheat. >> he was arrested last month on espionage charges which the u.s. government and "wall street journal" both deny. >> let's get him back. david bridal laying off more than 9,000 employees nationwide as it plans to sell the company. the largest bridal retailer in the u.s. fired its first round of workers on friday with the rest of the layoffs coming late they are year. massive cuts come before wedding season kicks off and a week after reports surfaced about the company's plans to file for bankruptcy. and did you know that you pay a sandwich tax on bagel with cream cheese in new york? >> what? >> yep. that's right, dave. the tax is nearly 9 percent, but check out this loophole. philadelphia cream cheese and h and h bagels with cream cheese already inside. the tax-free bagel is everything someone can need, fast, cheap, delicious -- am i reading an ad?

>> you are. >> it will be available at select h and h stores through tuesday. >> this is very clever. it's not just clever on the tax side. i don't know why we haven't had these before. >> seems like a heavy spread for me. >> i like cream cheese. >> you know when they take the bagels and scrape them out? >> hollowed out? >> man, i'm striking out. >> scooped, i think. >> okay. >> it is a gimmick. save you 9 percent. >> it's worth it. >> did i read that? 9 per cent? >> i think that's what you said. >> i was passively listening to you. i think it was 9 percent. >> he sits next to me. >> i was listening. good for them. it is a plot ripped straight out of the show black mirror. artificial intelligence bringing back loved ones from the dead? the moral debate over the technology coming up next. but first, here's a look back at some of the best moments

>> it is a plot straight out of the show black mirror. artificial intelligence is now being used to bring loved ones back from the dead. the app here after creates audio clones allowing users to communicate with digital replicas of the deceased. is this the moral thing to do? let's ask orthodox catholic philosopher at loyola university

chicago. joe, this is such an interesting question. we saw yesterday a video. it was painful. it was a woman whose child had died at 7. she's wearing these ai glasses. she sees the child, looks just like her. she reaching out to her. you can see the anguish in her expressions because she just wants to hold this child which she can see and get close to, but can't actually hold. how can this be good for the grieving process? it must be really disruptive. >> yeah, yeah. i mean, of course we all understand the feeling of loss when we lose someone that we love. the motivation driving this sort of conversation is clear. we want to keep people around who we've lost. but i would like to share with you a quote from one of my favorite writers jr tolkien who wrote lord of the rings. he talks about this desire to extend our lives artificially is like putting butter on toast and the butter becomes ever thinner and thinner. he describes that as intolerable. that's a nice folksy image

because we've had that experience of having toast with just too little butter to cover it. what he is trying to get at is our ethics should be ultimately be guided by what's natural to human beings, and what's natural to human beings whether it's because of original sin or because of our nature as biological entities is that we're mortal and life ends. and that trying to extend ends up being sort of like that trying to spread the butter ever thinner and winds up being something intolerable. >> yeah, i mean, we are bodies and we are souls. and this ai thing is -- i just think of transhumanism. i just -- i have a lot of concern. actually it is very rapelling to me if i'm really frank. >> it is to me too. i think one thing that's going on in the back ground here is this assumption that what we are and who we are is nothing more than an abstract disembodied intelligence that could presumably be put into a computer. but as you mentioned, there's a lot of perspectives, including

the traditional christian one that says what we are is not just this abstract intelligence, but is rather our souls and our bodies together. if that's the case, the whole concept doesn't even really quite make sense because that can't be me. what i am is not just an intelligence. it is my body too. >> rachel: we've been prepping ourselves for this because there has been this blurring of the line between what is real and what is not, even before ai came into existence. i'm just afraid we maybe crossing that rubicon; right? how do we know what's real and what's not? >> exactly. i know when i heard about this story, the image i got was when you see a beautiful basket of fruit on the table, and you go up and you get close to it, maybe getting hungry for an apple then you realize all the fruit is made out of wax. i think that's the sort of thing that we're getting set up for here. maybe we're able to produce something that looks like a human, that behaves like a human, maybe even looks and acts like one of our loved ones but at the end of the day it is not

the real thing. it is setting us up for disappointment but also presenting with us false reality. >> rachel: it can't love us back. only real people can do that, people with bodies and souls. i think the lesson here, and i hope that -- there aren't enough ai ethisis out there which is a huge concern. i think the key to happiness is live authentically and not virtually. we will see how it turns out. >> exactly. >> rachel: thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me on. coming up, spring weather chaos, golf ball-sized hail dropping in the midwest as more extreme storms are expected across the country. rick is tracking that for us. plus, countdown to election day, 2024. pete and will go off the wall with who to watch and where the race stands. ♪ ♪

fox news alert. there's been a mass shooting at a gathering in dadeville, alabama. last night. local news outlet wrbl reports at least 20 people were hurt. witnesses telling the local media outlet it was a sweet 16 birthday celebration, and several of the injured are teenagers. no word on fatalities or suspects. this is a developing story. we will continue to monitor it throughout the morning. will, pete, back to you. >> thank you, rachel. the countdown to the 2024 election is on. fox news is going to host the first republican primary debate as another republican could soon enter the race. >> maybe we're going to be doing that debate. >> you think? >> probably not. i think bret will do a great job. let's go off the wall to look at

the playing field and calendar ahead. this is about the moment you start to say here comes 2024. a big part of that, these dates through 2024 are the republican and democrat conventions. >> who do we know so far has announced they are running for president? who has been flirting with the idea? well, you've got several different categories. first of all, tim scott has announced he's going to form an exploratory committee to run for president. while mike pence, ron desantis, kristy nome and chris sununu have flirted with the idea. >> declared candidates on the republican side, donald trump, nikki haley, former south carolina governor, asa hutchison have all declared. then you have mike pompeo who said he is bowing out. another potential -- glenn youngkin who had been courted by a lot of the donor class to run has said i will sit this out. a lot of how this race shapes out depends on this category

right here and especially the rupp -- upper right quadrant of this category, whether or not desantis decides to enter the race. when you look at the polls, this is where the challenge is right now. >> only one declared candidate on the democratic side of the ticket. that is mary ann williamson who has said she will be running for president, the self-help author in 2024. joe biden has all but said he's running. he told al roker this week i'm going to run but waiting to officially declare. >> you wait as a president who doesn't want a second term because you don't want to become lame duck so you could wait till fall of 2023 to remain your presidential power but it is likely he will. >> one name is not on this, rfk jr. who has declared an intention to run but not yet formally filed is what we're told which is why he's in the on the graphic, but he will be in

the mix for the democrats as well. >> let's take a look at polling and financing. fox news poll 2024 republican nominees for president, among republican primary voters, donald trump with a commanding lead over everyone else coming in at 54 percent. ron desantis registers 24. and then, you know, single digits for most of the other -- >> this is interesting too because as happened in 2016, to the benefit of donald trump, i'm not diminishing this number, this is a huge number 54 percent in a poll amongst republicans coming after the mar-a-lago raid. i can't recall when the indictment was if that's included in this poll. it would have been toward the far edges of it, if that were the case. he may benefit even more from that. but the amount of candidates that decide to get in a race dilute the percentages that each of them get. >> right. >> 3 percent here and -- she's not going to run -- or maybe she will and she will lose. 6 percent here does a lot to chip away at other people who

would try to come at the 54 percent >> you bring up the raid and indictment. take a look at campaign fund-raising. this is donald trump's raising through the first quarter 18.8 million. 15 million two weeks after the charges in new york filed against donald trump. >> that is a close ranks grassroots surge amongst not just donors that have given before but a lot of new donors as well first time givers to the trump campaign. we look back at that list, two of those candidates, it's been a challenge for this group to address that situation on donald trump. >> no doubt. >> how do you acknowledge a political persecution of the front-runner while elevating yourself? i mean, people have pointed out that desantis had a really shaky moment trying to do that with trump, it hasn't helped him in the polls in this sort of shadow running of the presidency. >> one thing to keep in mind when we talk about polling is it is early. in fact, let's be reminded of where polling was at a similar time in previous presidential election cycles. what you will see is it doesn't always pan out the way it was in the beginning.

this is january 2007 on the democratic side. a washington post poll 41 to 17. >> amazing. they were feeling pretty good at that moment. who in the world is this junior senator from illinois think he is that he could be president of the united states? what a lot of i think the candidates today are trying to factor in too is it their moment? you heard that from pompeo. he said it is not my moment. it was clearly obama's moment in 2008. people just didn't quite see it yet in 2007. >> 2017, jeb bush not as commanding in the lead but 13 to 7 and of course donald trump won the nomination. one thing i would point out different with these polls and the ones we're looking at today is donald trump has previously been the president of the united states. >> yeah. >> in the current polls. all four of these individuals at that time were running in open fields. >> absolutely right. also this reversed quickly and he gained a lot of support, but even the iowa caucus ted cruz squeaked by and won the iowa caucuses in 2016.

so -- and then donald trump gained steam and took over. the one thing that makes i think these years different than 2024 is the political movement that donald trump has created. you can't deny he's a generational type figure with a draw from the base that those competing with him will have a hard time dealing with. >> not on these polls, but declared running for president. he had this to say about polling at this juncture. >> i'm about where donald trump was in june of 2015. we're already making progress here in states like new hampshire. started at zero, already have surged in the polls already and going further. >> i like vivek a lot. he's a great guy. that's what any 1 percent candidate has to say at this moment. don't pay attention to the polls. give it time. we will see if he's able to tick up that support. that's going to become really important really quick because that turns into fund-raising dollars, the ability to expose and challenge somebody. >> we have mentioned that it is

sort of on our doorstep. it is beginning to happen. here are some important dates, coming up for this election calendar. first of all, i think -- 2023, everything else to 24. look, this summer, august, fox news hosts its first republican presidential -- >> that's not far away. if you remember, 2016, those primary debates were must see iconic political television. remember, raise your hand, what are you doing with your hair over there? all to stuff was something like you'd never seen before, and it could be that way again. and then of course after that, there will be other debates, and that calendar ramps up quick to the point where we'll know who the nominees will be on both sides. >> get ready. here it comes. >> becomele buckle up. border patrol bracing for chaotic end of title 42. as 40,000 illegal immigrants reportedly gather on the mexican side of the border.

>> texas congressman is joining us now. congressman, thank you very much for being here. staggering -- >> good morning to yule. -- to you call. >> good morning to you. this is yet another staggering number with very significant human implications and you're hearing nothing? what is the administration doing, if anything? >> well, look, it's true. i haven't talked to the white house about this, but i have been talking to the homeland secretary, to the homeland security officials, to make sure that there's something in place, and there's a couple things coming up. as you know, they reached an agreement with panama, colombia, to make sure that we stop folks coming in from the gap down there in the southern part of central america. number two, there are asylum officers, they're being tested right now so they can expedite and either, you know, they make a determination that somebody stays or goes back, so that will be a lot faster than the immigration judges. and finally, the third thing is

there's a rule that will come in that would basically say that if somebody comes in between ports of entry, they will be returned and make sure that they do it the right way and -- through a port of entry. we have to have consequences f. there's no consequences, it doesn't work. >> i want to ask you about these leaked documents that came out this week from the air national guardsman who has been arrested. it's not -- i don't think this is completely distinct from our conversation over illegal immigration, it is actually tied in many ways. and that is the revelation of how russia and china are so intricately involved in projects in latin america and the caribbean. we know about the relationships between china and for example brazil. i believe in these documents it was talking about a port in honduras that both russia and china were coordinating on. what was your take away when you see not just our -- the impact

on illegal immigration, but on our national security? >> you know, this is one thing that i've been talking about for many years, that we need to pay attention to what's happening in our own backyard, mexico, central america, latin america in general because especially the chinese, the iranians and the russians but especially the chinese, they have ports of entry -- they have ports, they are doing a lot of work. in fact, i would be happy to share later on some maps that show you the intensive work that the chinese are doing, right across the border here in the u.s. there are certain activities where it says made in mexico but really made in china. the chinese are coming in and moving in to areas to industrial parks very very close to our own border. i would be happy to share this at a later time with you all. once i show you this, it is going to be incredible what's

been happening. i have been looking at this for many years, and i'm glad you are bringing this up at this time. >> rachel: in many ways, congressman, it's been predictable. you think about brazil. there was a recent election. the biden administration was cheering on the leftist to win, who has now aligned himself with china, if not some people potentially interfering with that election. but let's just say they were just cheering on that election. and yet, they knew -- had to know that he would -- that he would align with china and that would be bad for america. what the heck is going within the state department and the biden administration in general? they are practically handing latin america over on a silver platter to china and china is gobbling up resources and interfering with this hemisphere. >> the chinese are almost in every country in latin america, and what's happening is you're

looking at leftists leaders -- >> yes. >> look at what happened in colombia. it used to be one of our strongest allies. we are seeing they are going left. there are so many countries so -- we need to pay attention like you are saying. we need to pay attention to what's happening in our own backyard because we're going to wake up one of these days and realize how close the chinese and other adversaries are right across the river. >> with all due respect, in the case of brazil, because i think it is probably the most country in terms of its economy to latin america [inaudible] was friends with donald trump which i'm sure why biden didn't want to show some support for him. the other guy -- it seems like they care more about lgbtq, abortion and green agenda than national security and commerce in latin america. >> you know, what we need to focus on is have a practical view of latin america. you know, they may not be

perfect. they may not agree with us in everything, but we need to look at what's practical for us down there, almost like a henry kissinger type of viewpoint, the practical view of how we make those working relationships because you're right. look, brazil is the largest economy down there. then you have mexico. if we start losing those to other countries and china will come in -- boy, they are there are already. >> rachel: they are there. >> it is going to really have an impact like i say, we're going to wake up one of these days, and we're going to realize how close are adversaries are to us. >> a great point because that's what the chinese are doing, a practical approach to these countries what do you need? how can we deliver it? oh by the way now you owe us or in debt to us and they leverage that in the future. congressman, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. >> rachel: thank you, congressman. yeah. he's one of the few honest brokers in that party, i have to say >> for sure. >> rachel: turning to your head
